Great Malvern Priory, nestling in the
slopes of the Malvern Hills, Worcestershire,
in the centre of England, is the main
town church for the Malvern area. It has been described
by Pevsner as a monastic church 'rarely
built so sweepingly'
and is of considerable architectural
interest with styles from Norman
to Perpendicular. Its treasures from mediaeval
times include misericords, glazed tiles and some
of the finest stained glass in the country.More information on Malvern Priory
can be found at
